Jr. Hockey Club Carnival|App 
Displays Many Costumes 


The Junior Hockey Club held a 
very successful ice carnival here 
on February 28. In: spite of the 
cold weather a good crowd turned 
out and all agreed that the cos- 
tumes in number, variety and ori- 
ginality were the finest in many 
years. 

One of the best laugh-makers 
was a spirited steed with flowing 
blonde mane and tail. This Pala- 
mino pony was designed and pro- 
pelled by Misses Esther Allen and’! 
Kathleen Meyers and his progress 
was somewhat. accelerated at 
times by prods from the trident of 
his ‘Satanic. Majesty as imperson- 
ated by Lloyd Kennedy. 

Then there was Spark Plug, a 
horse of 1a different color—a tiny 
youngster was heard asking “Is 
“that a real pony?” No. It wasn’t a 
“real pony but it was animated by 
a real boy, Cyril Knudson, aged 
4 years who with his small. auto- 
mobile was “the works” and was 
entirely hidden from view by ‘the 
fabric pony whose legs moved up 
and down and whose head worked 
back and forth as Cyril in his. car 
-peddied along inside. 

Among the many entrants who 
helped to make the carnival so en- 
jovable were Indians, Red Riding 
. Hood, Frosty the Snowman, - Pir- 
ates, Witches, Bell Boys, Penguins, 
Hoboes, Fat Ladies, Mary ‘and her 
Lamb, Old Fashioned Ladies, Be 
dal Couples, Comic Couples, etc., 
to say ‘nothing of Hen-Pecked 
Papa, Art Knudson, who ‘literally 
paced the rink on skates with a 
teething infant. 

Mrs. Riley and Mr. Torrance who 
were asked to judge found it a 
difficult task with so much good 
material to choose from and it is 
hoped that those who did not. get

, . AUCKLAND, N.Z. — While dynasties have been falling all 
over the world, q monarchy has been growing steadily stronger 
in the South Pacific in the little kingdom of Tonga. Even more

Early Detection 
And Treatment 
Best For Cancer 


Early detection and treatment is 
still the greatest anti-cancer weapon

Canadian Cancer Society in a Na- 
tional Health Week message. 

The Society, with its provincial di- 
visions and local units, has one of the 
most comprehensive lay educational 
programs of any ‘country in the 
world, but unfortunately many can-

Prospects For 


‘Hog Producers 


Are Good 


OTTAWA. — “Prospects for hog 
producers for the next eight or nine 
months are excellent,” Charles Mc- 
Innes, president of the Ontario Fed- 
eration of Hog Producers told mem- 
bers of the Carleton County Hog 
Producers Federation. 

He warned: however that this year 
hog producers face an entirely dif- 
ferent situation than last year. There 
is no government agreement with the 
United Kingdom for the sale of 
bacoén. The Bacon Board is now op- 
erating undey the Stabilization Board. 
And the domestic market is the im- 
portant market for producers rather

Weather Linked 
With Prosperity 


MONTREAL. — History shows 
that drought is the main cayse. 
of most famines, D. S. Ross, act+' 
ing officer in charge, air ser- 
vices. meteorological division, 
Department. of Transport told 
‘tthe Kiwanis Club here, 

Speaking on “Drought, or why 
doesn’t it rain?”, Mr, Ross explain- 
ed how decades of prosperity in the 
United States usually accompanied 
periods of ‘normal’ precipitation 
and, thus, good crops. 

Canada, with the exception of the 
praire provinces, was most fortunate 
in regard to its annual average rain- 
fall. The prairies, however, suffered 
grievously from lack of rain and se- 
vere dust storms in ‘the decade. 1930 
to 1939. 

He said that so-called “eycles” of 
sun-spots, or of plentiful rain, had 
not been scientifically proved. There 
were confirmations but records also 
showed many contradictions. 

Meteorologists, however, wére opti- 
mistic that the problem of “cycles” 
was not insolvable, though they do 
not look for an early solution. 

Mr. : Ross noted that (present 
weather trend was “persistently” to- 
wards higher temperatures. 

Man-made precipitation had not so 
far achieved rainfall in. “useful quan- 
tities’, and there was much doubt 
on the subject, he said, : 


Seems Hired 
Man Has Moved 
To The City 


(From the Hamilton Spectator) 
To use a well-known rural expres- 


sion, the hired man” has. become 
scarcer than hen’s teeth. Ontario 
farmers say that about nine farms ° 
in every ten have to get along with- 
out him and rely on members of the 
famil}¥ and mechanical equipment. 


What has become of the~ hired 


man? There used to We hiindreds of 
such farm workers in this province 
25 years ago. <A few of the elderly 
ones still remain faithful to their 
jobs here and there; others have 
passed on or become too old to work. 
Those in their prime Have gone into 
industry, and many -others entering | 
upon manhood have done’ likewise; 
preferred lighter employment at 
white-collar vocations -in the cities 
or evinced a desire for a higher edu- 
cation and a professional career. The 
plain result of this trend: is that ~ 
there have been few recruits to. fill 
the thinning ranks of the hired men. 


This situation thus appears to re- 


veal a new outlook toward rural life 
and-a succumbing to the urban. lures 
—lures which may prove false in 
more than a few instances when put 
to a test and contrasted to the solid 
virtues of a rural way of life. Farm 
work, it is true, calls for pith and 
brawn; there is a lot of it to be done~ 
from the turning of the furrows until 
the crops are garnered, and at times « 
the daily round, may doubtless be- 
come monotonous. But it has its 
compensations and a degree .of secur- 
ity not always enjoyed by the city 
worker.. 


eThe working day of the hired man 


may be long—the average is said to 
be 11 hours—and his week may vir- 
tually consist of seven days, even 
though only the essential chores are 
‘done on Sundays, Nevertheless, his 
job is a heatlhy one in the outddors; 
he is well provided for im most cases, 
and when the quiet of’ the evening 
comes after a hot day he can relax 
in the sweet, cool air, turn in and 
have a good night’s rest away from’ 
the noise, the drone and fumes of 
endless : traffic; there is no ‘jam ses- 
sion” next door to break his sleep. 
Those. are surely important consid- 
erations. 


Getting down to more material 


things, he can, if he is, thrifty, save 

jJenough within a few years to make 
a respectable down payment on a 
sizable farm ‘and launch out for Him- 
self in a modest way, Certainly he 
should be in’a much,better position 
to do so than the average unskilled 
worker in the cities, 


Farmers repéat, however, that the 


inducements of good wages, free 
house, milk, vegetables and wood: for 
married hired men are not enough 
to get them, let alone hold them, 
Single men receive their bgard, their 
washing and mending are done for 
them—and they often have a royal 
chance of marrying the boss's daugh- 
ter, Yet they are hard to find, and 
many farmers “between the age 
groups of 50 and 60 years have to . 
do.most 6f the work: themselves. :

are the number of days a yariety

For the past six years’ the experi- 
mental farm at Indian Head has 
sown wheat on four dates; the first 
date as early as field work can be 
done in the spring, and the others at} 
ten-day intervals. The fourth date 
is therefore 30 days later than the 
first. : 

In this six year period very late, 

normal and early springs have been 
experienced, but in almost every 
‘case wheat sown ‘on ‘the first date 
slightly outyielded the others, The 
difference between the yield of wheat 
sown on the first three dates was not 
large, but there has’ been a small 
progressive decrease with a marked 
drop occuring at~the fourth date, 
: This points to’ the fact that early 
seeding not only produces higher 
yields over a period of years but les- 
sens the danger of damage. by early 
frosts, says E. V. McCurdy of tne 
Indian Head station. 

Weeds have not been a problem in 
this project, but if a delay were 
ntcessary-to allow.-wild oats to grow, 
the tests. indicate little decrease in 
yield would result from a delay in 
seeding up to 20 days after the first 
field work could be done in the 
spring; but if the delay were longer 
a much lower yield could be expected. 

The average decrease between the 
first date and the fourth date in this 
project has amounted to 6 bushels 
per acre. Work on the Regina sub- 
station, for a longer period of years, 
indicates éxactly the same trend.

Guest Editorial 


Mr. Elmer E. Roper, MLA., President Alberta Division C.R.C.S. 
This note is appended to the 1951 budget. of the Canadian Red 
Cross Society: “The amount of. $148,000 in Alberta Division Bud- 


' get for the ‘operation of the Crippled Children’s: Hospital’ includes 


$100,000 approved by Cenitral Council on the undertaking of the 
Alberta Division that tthey would raise this sum-in addition to 
their regular oT of $300,000.” 

This puts us “on the spot” in Alberta. 

Our own major project. the Alberta Red Cross Crippled Child- 
ren’s Hospital, is in the hrlance. Or, to put it another and more 
practical way, the crippled children of Alberta who are looking 
to the Alberta Red Cross for the special care they so desperately 
need—-they're in the balance. 


If we fail we'll be “ailing them. 


Of course we won’t fai]. Four hundred thousand dollars is not . 


a sum too big for 900.9799 Albertans to raise. And it is almnost 
$200.000 less than the Red Cross will spend in Alberta this year! 
Although our Crippled Children’s Hospital is our own Alberta 
project and probably dearer to our hearts than any other, the 
numerous other services*of"Red Cross in the province reach into 
the lives of many Albertans. Every day lives are being saved by 
the Blood ‘Fransfusion Service. When fires or flood bring major 


' or minor disaster, Red Cross is there. When; emergency care of 


any kind is needed, people turn naturally afid confidently to Red 
Cross. . a 

So Alberta people won’t fail Red Cross when the campaign 
for funds is on. That is, they won’t fail if we in Red Cross do our 
part. Because $400,000 cannot be collected in a month without a 
great many people doing a lot of work. And a lot of talking about 


There are no more generous, warm-hearted people on earth 


‘than in Alberta. But if ‘they don’t know about Red Cross, if we. 


fail to give them the personal opportunity to make their contri- 
bution, if we don’t make this campaign a completesand enthusias- 
tic canvass of the entire province... 

But that’s what we are going to do!

Gas export has-been the major issue before the legislature

C.C.F. Leader Elmer E. Roper, Edmonton, first opposition

SOLVING THE GOOD NEIGHBOUR PROBLEM 
THE GOOD: NEIGHBOR : 


Few people have time these days to wear a path between 
their home and the house next door. Our ida of neighborli- 
ness is changing. The back fence of friendly converse, the 
shady porch of slow confidences, the open door of ready re- 
sponse, all are being crowded out of our streamlined lives. 
We have a thousand Neighbors, where before we had one. 
We used to worry about the woman next door who broke 
her hip, now .we worry about. our neighbor half a continent 
or half a world away. A home goes up in flames in 

ki, the Red River floods out a’ family in Winnipeg, children 
flee the birds of war in Korea .. ..and these, now, become ~ 
our neighborly concern. ; 


And, through our Red Cross, we can still extend a helping 
hand. When we give our energy, our time, our money to our 
-national Society, we know it acts for us. We know it does 
what we would do if we were theré. It may be at the house 
next-door, or a thousand miles away. It may be a visit to a 
veteran_in hospital, or the despatch of half.a million dollars 
worth of aid for a large-scale disaster. It may be welcome to 
a newcomer or the saving of a. mother’s life in hospital. 


Red Cross translates the countless impulses of friendliness, of 
generosity and compassion that. we all feel, into action. Red 
Cross is you, being a good neighbor, wherever the ‘need arises: 
And the need for mercy never ends. Give and give generously 
to the national appeal this month. : i

vital importance too, because the 
disease causes undulant fever in 
humans. Several cases of undulant

by medical doctors in ‘this muni-

Span Of Mounties 


REGINA.— A former member of 
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
F. J. Bigg of Meota, Sask., doesn’t 
think the modern-age mountie has 
it when it comes to longevity. 

In a letter to the R.C.M.P. quar- 
terly, Mr. Bigg says he has observed 
from the’ magazine’s obituary col- 
umns that average age reached by 
personnel serving in the last century 
was 81. For those serving after 
1900, it was 61, he claims. 

Mr. Bigg says he thinks the lack 
of “plain, sound food,” lack of fresh 
air that used to come in caring for 
and riding horses and not enough 
sleep account, for the loss in life 
span. ' 

Nor does the modern breakfast of 
juices, cereal, toast and so on appeal 
to him. He had “dry hash, bread 
and tea. (Not buttered).”

ernment in a plebiscite how they feel 
about the compulsory marketing of 
coarse grains, ; 

In a surprise announcement in the 
provincial legislature, Premier Doug- 
las Campbell said the plebiscite will 
be taken as soon as final financial 
returns from the 1950-51  coarse- 
grains crop are known. 

A government spokesman said it 
is unlikely the vote will be, taken be- 
fore October. 2921

It is the, first time elk corrals have 
beén used in an attempt to capture 
the animals in Saskatchewan. They 
have been experimented with previ- 
ously in Alberta and the northwest- 
ern’ United States. 

The use of corrals is a new move 
by the game branch in its campaign 
to control the elk, which have heen 
reported ravaging farm crops. 

The corrals are constructed of 40- 
foot-high poles. ne proved barely 
high enough to contain an old bull 
elk which made a bid for freedom 
by running, jumping and butting off 
the two uppermost ‘poles in the wall. 

The corrals are built in two cir- 
cles, joined by a gate. The first cir- 
cle with the outside opening is 60 
feet in diameter. Once in this circle, 
an elk. eats green alfalfa sheaves 
and flips a trip camouflaged in the 
feed which drops a 500-pound gate 
into the cpening. » ; : ‘ 

The elk then is chased into the 
inner circle, 40 feet in diameter and 
the centre gate is closed. 

At least that’s the way cerrals 
are supposed to operate. But. to 
date only four animals have been 
trapped. Explained Harold Read, 
northern fur supervisor for the de- 
partment of natural resources: 

“The reason we have not met with 
such good success with the corrals 
is because the elk have an abundance 
‘of. other food and have not_ been 
feeding on the supplies in the cor- 
rals.” 

A trail of alfalfa hay has ‘been 
spread to cross the-elk runs in the

His hybrid geese, descendants

“They’re better protectors than

Game Branch Corralling Elk 
In Northern Saskatchewan 


New Move To Control Animals 
That Have Ravaged Farm Crops 


PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.—An elk Pee we is under way in the 
Fort a la Corne district of northern Saskate 
of-eight corrals have been constructed by the provincial game 
branch in the forest area some 100 miles northeast of Prince 
Albert. Orice trapped, the elk are to be shipped to the Beauval 
district én the northern fringe of settlement. 


ewan. Three figure- 


forest in an attempt to lure them 
to the corrals. Left alone, the ani- 
mals are not timid but come right 
up to the. corral, eating some of the 
hay bait and often bedding down in 


front of the gates; / 


But when men are in the vicinity, 
the elk ‘quickly pick up their scent 
and shy’ clear. 

When about 12 elk have been cap- 
tured they are to be loaded in a spe- 
cial truck and takeh to roam in the 
Beauval district 50 miles to the 
northeast. To overcome the. loading 
hazard of the long, branchy antlers 
of the larger elk, the game men plan 
to‘ dehorn them. This, they say, is 
fairly easy at -this«season when the 
antlers are dry. 

It is estimated some 300 elk are 
at large in Fort a-la Corne forest. 
In. 1949, 25 of them were killed and 
given. to Indians for food. Last year 
food plots stocked with choice hay 
were set up to keep the animals in 
the forest and away from farm 
Then last November an open 
hunting season on elk was declared.

Bird--Fulfills Boyhood Dream 


LA JUNTA, Colo. — Ro! o S. Ewers dreamed, when he was a 
boy some 50 years ago, of flying like a bird. He tried what most 
boys have tried—jumping from the barn hay mow. Of course 
that didn’t work. But he didi’t give up. And just recently, at 
the age of 55, he attained the dream. He flew like a bird using 
only his own muscle power and a homemade contraption he 

built for $100 which seems to flap its wings.

BIG FARMING 


Australian Farmer 
Likes Machinery 


SYDNEY, Australia.—Eric Smart, 
38-year-old West Australian wheat 
farmer, was almost broke 15 years 
ago. Now he may be the biggest 
individual wheat farmer in the world; 
at least. that’s the claim of his fel- 
low farmers. 

Now a battery of harvesters is. 
finishing cropping more than 350,000 
bushels ‘of wheat on his farm 300 
miles from Perth. Income from this 
and wool will probably bring Smart’s 
income to $945,000. That’s not the 
biggest income in Australia by a long 
way — there are wool meh making 
considerably more—but it’s good pro- 
gress in 15 years. 

Smart’s family. had been farming 
for six generations in South Aus- 
tralia when Eric Smart went to West 
Australia “in 1935. Determination and 
energy and impatience brought him

miles west of Nere. A new model 
town — Devon — has -blossomed with 
the oil derricks to house the Workers 
and their: families. A $4,000,000 gas- 
processing plant has been built to 
separate marketable gas from the 
“wet” gas which brings up the oil. 

In its four-year life, Leduc has pro- 
duced more than 26,300,000 barrels 
of crude. Posted field price is $3.05 
a barrel. Production, curtailed now 
by market limitations, is. expected 
to rise sharply when Alberta oil 
has. been flowing through the inter- 
provincial . pipeline» from’ Edmonton 
to Superior, Wis., for storage until 
spring break-up. 

.With the opening: of the eastern 
market, oil officials estimate that Al- 
berta. production will rise as much 
as 30 per cent. The spectacular
